Answer:
Mr. Miller’s farm is 295 acres, and Mr. Newton’s farm is 230 acres.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the problem we can make the following equations…..
Let “N” be the area of Mr. Newton’s farm and let “M” be the area of Miller’s farm. Then…..
N + M = 525
N + 65 = M
Now substitute and get….
N + M = 525
N + N + 65 = 525
2N = 460
N = 230⇒
⇒N + 65 = M
230 + 65 = 295
